The reports, as CPSC published them

Reports people made to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. CPSC publishes each one after sending it to the company named, and doesn’t guarantee they’re accurate. A report isn’t a recall.

Each report is the words of the person who made it, as CPSC published them. The company’s comments, where CPSC published any, are set apart as the company’s own.

  1. No one hurt

    Made May 18, 2017, sent to the company Jul 19, 2017, published by CPSC Aug 2, 2017

    The product, in the report: This is an oil lantern with a glass fuel reservoir (font) and a glass globe. It stands 16and 1/2 inches tall. It uses oil or kerosene as a fuel.

    I purchased an oil lantern through Amazon.com earlier this month. When it arrived I filled the glass fuel reservoir (font) with oil and prepared to light it. It was then that I noticed oil was leaking out of the bottom of the reservoir and flowing across the counter top. Had I struck a match it is very likely that the lantern and the counter top would have been engulfed in flame. I am 78 years old and this is the first time in my life I have seen a glass container leak from its bottom. Clearly there was little to no quality control in the manufacture of this oil lamp. The lamp is sold as GloBrite: “Lite Hearted Clear Glass Oil Lamp,” model number L329ACL. It was made in China and imported by 21st Century through USA Importers. I have returned the product to Amazon.com for a refund.
